The Gospel of Paul is not a gospel about "Paul the Apostle", although he is mentioned in places. "Paul" is the author of this manuscript. He is a strong Christian living a nightmare of health problems. Yet through all his pain and suffering, he has discovered many things. Below is a note from the author about this document:

"The incidents recorded in The Gospel of Paul are factual. The Gospel of Paul is something personal that I want to share with you. Something of true value, in a world that values very little.

After two years I am done with a "Gospel". You may share it with the world, but please keep my anonymity. The term Gospel has almost become politically incorrect. However, the ancients used it to share The Good News of the Lord. That is what the book (The Gospel of Paul) is - The Good News.

Like the Apocryphal and Canonized works before it, I wanted the world to know that Jesus exists and lives, in the Word and in the Act. In two thousand years when we are dead, people will read the hard copy (computers will long be gone), and will say that the living God was performing miracles in the years in the 21st century. I was somewhat reluctant to send out the book to people I actually knew after all the criticism I received when I wrote it, but alas I prayed about it for months and worked up the courage to send it to friends.

You are viewing the 119th version of the book."

Previous to yet another major surgery, the author shares his hope:

"I spent the entire day at the Northside Cancer Center. While there I met a young woman named Ginni. It was apparent that she was in the last days of her life, suffering from acute lymphatic leukemia. We spoke for a while and encouraged each other to not pass out. Her surgery is tomorrow. She is in her thirties, and any fool could tell that she had once been so beautiful that she could stop traffic with her looks. I don't know where this email is going, and I will probably never see her again in this life, but I did not want this event to be lost in time. Suffice it to say that I was overwhelmed with her dignity in dying. I have been so blessed to be a part of peoples lives both in life and at their death. It has been such a privilege to serve His Majesty and (our local church)."

In a letter to me (the webmaster for this site) Paul, the author of this site, talks about the sermon we heard at church on a particular day, and other thoughts:

"I wanted to share one quick thought concerning Paul’s letters, and more particularly the message today as I understood it. This is only my opinion, although it is shared in some part by my understanding of St. Gregory the Great. St. Paul seems incapable, like all of us, of doing that one thing that human’s cannot do – forgiving ourselves. I suspect, no, I know, that Paul at the point of death (e.g., after years of service and martyrdom) realized what I realized – that Jesus loves him the exact same amount (infinitely) as when Paul was persecuting the Christians (e.g., Stephen). This, of course, is unfathomable to humans. Paul seems to get it with numerous comments and statements in his letters, then he contradicts himself by saying he is unworthy without salvation. ON this point I agree. However, what I am trying to get at, is that the world is perfect. It is man that is not perfect. We wish to be better, in an effort to live with ourselves, so we change, and move forward; but, the world is fine and perfect except to the extent that we do not love. Man is the only one of God’s creatures capable of creation like God – not in replicating itself (like hamsters), but of actually changing his environment and emotional perspective of others through love and hate. In this way, man is changing the cosmos like God. Man is the only creature callable of populating heaven with saints, Not even the angels can do this. Worth remembering is that mothers are the greatest of all God’s creatures, giving birth to the Messiah himself and populating heaven with saints.

If the world is perfect, but man is not; it is not enough to rest on our laurels and say there is nothing I can do about it, or that is just the way things are. Like Paul, we cannot live with ourselves in our sinful past knowing that Christ can make us more. It is not enough that he loves us regardless of what and who we are. We must attempt to transform the world by creating, and completing God’s creation and Christ’s suffering. This so clearly distinguishes Christianity from the great monotheism of Islam.

You (webmaster for this site) had mentioned sometime before that you did not know how to pray for me. I now have an answer. Our pastor used the term “a vision” this morning in the service concerning bringing running water to the village. I would use the term revelation, but it is a matter of tautology. Pray for our lives to be examples, and for God to bend our will till it breaks so that His Will be Done on this earth as it is in heaven. Prayer is a cosmic event, with no equal. It can change situations, without changing the will of God.  The sprit comes to the aid of our weakness, intercedes with inexpressible groaning, and the Thou in prayer becomes a capital T, and the I becomes a little i. In this way our dignity is restored, and we are no longer wretched weak and sinful people as the Apostle Paul describes us."
